Get Paid to Blog!

I wanted to tell you all about an opportunity that I have taken advantage of and maybe you would like to do so also. I get paid to blog! Really and honestly, I get paid to do something I like to do anyways. You can make $1 per post and get paid for one post a day. Ok. I know what you're saying... That's only $30 a month. Yes, it is. But there is opportunities to earn more. By referring people, you get $5 per referal after they post 10 times. You also get extra for traffic and if your blog has really heavy traffic they will pay you more than the $1 a post. After a certain time period, you can also be approved to have a second blog.

So, $30 a month may not seem like a lot to you, but to me it's quite a bit. I can buy extra food for my stockpile. I can buy myself a nice shirt or pair of pants. I can use the money to pay for my 2-liters of soda every month - I drink about 3 a week - and still have money to put in savings. Or I can use that extra $30 a month to reduce my credit card debt.

The only thing I dislike about the site, is that it is not very customisable. They have TONS of different themes. Some have customizable headings and one of those is what I use. They do not have all the nice widgets like Blogger and other blog sites, but with a little html knowledge and online searching you can customize it to a certain degree. If you decide you would like to start your own blog at the site, and would like me to make you a heading picture, or would like some code to customize your site, please let me know. I would be more than willing to help anyone out.

As usual, if you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

Ok. Here are the pictures!

I admit it. I forgot to come back to my blog last night and post the pictures of the party. Bad me! LOL. Well here they are as promised.

There is a picture of the the little guy before his party and one of him playing with the dump truck that he got as a gift. Then, of course, there is the one of him trying to blow out the candles and one with his face covered in cake.

1st Birthday Party Today!

Today we had a party for the little guy's 1st birthday. Everything went really well and I think we all had a good time. We bought him a dump truck, and he loved it. We didn't even need to buy him anything else because he loved it so much he wouldn't put it down! lol. We had meatball subs (this is what I make for most parties), Little Guy opened his gifts and then he had his cake and ice cream. He was a mess, but not as bad as his sister was at her first birthday!! LOL. I still need to upload the pictures to my computer later and I will post a few here.

Getting Ready for a Birthday Party for the Little Guy - He's going to be One Years Old!!!!

Wow. It is truly amazing how time really does fly. My little guy is one today. We are celebrating his birthday tomorrow, so I've been busy cleaning and making the Thomas the Train cake. I couldn't do much for the last week because I was sick and had TONS of work to do for my classes. But, now I am feeling better and ended up staying late to clean and bake the cake.

Today I started decorating the Thomas cake. I will be baking just a normal chocolate cake to go with the Thomas one because the character pans are too small. I have iced the white and black on the cake and just have to do a small bit of yellow and red, and the blue and it will be done. I will post a picture of it when I am done.

So, tonight I still have plenty to do. Here's my list, wish me luck:

• while kids take bath - clean sink, toilet, mirror
• sweep and mop bathroom
• finish up dishes and put away
• vacuum living room
• finish cake

I will try to write about the party and post some pictures tomorrow night. Until then.

Wow! What a change in the weather!

Just a couple days ago it was sunny and 70 degrees. Even last night at midnight it was still 42 degrees. Now it is snowing!!! Crazy, crazy weather!!

Here's some pictures of what it looked liked a couple days ago:

Here are some pictures of what it looks like now:

I wonder how bad of a winter we are in for this year. I hope it's not too bad. I don't mind snow, as long as I don't have to go out in it. lol.

How's your weather been lately? Anyone else having weird weather like we've been having here?

Still Sick!

And the dishes are still waiting! ugghh! I hate when I am sick on the weekends because DH really can't help me out much because he works nights on weekends and has to sleep during most of the day. That means super mom still has to do everything!! The kids seemed to be super whiny and just not on their best behavior - of course! lol.

I was able to get a few things done. We got the living room picked up, clothes taken upstairs (though unfortunately not put away!), stereo and speakers cleaned off and a good vacuuming. While Little Princess was taking a bath I cleaned the toilet and the sink (which I do every time she takes a bath), and also cleaned under the counter because I found mysterious water (still not sure where it came from).

Now I am rally exhausted and just want to crash. But, of course, I can't. I have to work on my homework for my class. It figures that this would be the week she would assign the most work so far! I have 3 things that have to be done by Tuesday.

1. A two-page report on off-shoring. Of course, I still have to do the research for it, but I could do that in an hour and write it within an hour also.


2. One question at the end of the chapter that the teacher said would take us about 2 hours. So I figure it's going to take me at least 3!!!! lol


3. The last thing is to do 2 charts based on something we did last week. I believe this should take less than an hour.

I also need to finish something up for my class tomorrow. I think I will do that first and then work on #2!!! Maybe if I go make some no bake cookies, they will help me stay awake and raise my spirits. I'm really craving chocolate right now!

I Hate Being Sick!!

Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat yesterday and by the end of the day I was blowing my nose! GGGgggrrrr! This is the not the best weekend for me to get sick. I feel like doing absolutely nothing!!

I have 3 things to work on for my one class - they are due on Tuesday. I should probably finish reading for my other class. Plus the house isn't looking too pretty right now! Quite a few dishes sitting on my counter calling out my name!! In addition, I need to do a lot of cleaning because we are having a birthday party for the little man on Saturday. He will be 1! Believe me. This house is in no condition for people to see it right now! On Wednesday night I will have to bake the cake and on Thursday or Friday decorate it.

Hopefully I start feeling better soon. I can't afford to get too far behind in my classes or even in my housework. If you have any suggestions as to how I can feel better sooner, leave me a comment.

Wow It's Nice Today!!

In the mail the last few days have been tons of catalogs and ads from store, with toys on sale for Christmas. Who can think about Christmas when it's November 6 and it's almost 70 degrees in upstate NY? Usually this time of the year we are lucky if the high gets to 40 degrees! lol. It's very late for us to be having our Indian summer.Very weird too, since 2 weeks ago it was snowing! Very weird. It's probably a sign that we're in for a bad winter. Can I just hibernate and not go anywhere all winter? lol

When Little Miss wakes up, I am going to take her and the Little Man outside to play in the leaves. Dh and Son are out on our land trying to finish clearing it before winter really does hit us.

How is your weather today?

GET OUT THERE!!!

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR, NO MATTER IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT, OR INDEPENDENT, DON'T FORGET TO GO OUT AND VOTE TODAY!! NO MATTER WHO WINS THE PRESIDENCY, THIS WILL MAKE HISTORY. WE WILL EITHER HAVE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT OR A FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT!!  LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. THOSE WHO DON'T VOTE, DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN. 

Too cute!!

My daughter just turned 2 in August and she is now at that age where she can really start enjoying things. Her last birthday, Halloween and trick or treating and now fall and all the leaves. My husband threw her in a pile of leaves when they were leaving to go to the store today. She loved it! She couldn't stop talking about it for like 5 minutes. Of course, daddy was not too smart and threw her in there BEFORE they went to the store. So there he is trying to brush out the leaves from her hair so they can get in the van. lol. She says more and more every day. She is like a little sponge, just learning so fast. She was pretending she was making pizza for dinner while she was sitting at the kitchen table playing with mommy's measuring cups this afternoon. Too cute. Then she decided she was going to make "cokies" and "pie". LOL.

Meal Planning Monday - Nov3 thru Nov9

Ok. Here is my meal plan for the week.

Monday	Tuna patties, vegetable, potatoes
Tuesday	Turkey breast, vegetable, stuffing
Wednesday	leftovers
Thursday	chili, corn bread
Friday	homemade pizza, salad
Saturday	leftovers
Sunday	chicken and biscuits

I don't always follow the plan to a T, but at least I know that those are the meals that I have ingredients to make and if I don't feel like having something, I can choose one of the other meals. I will be making extra chili to stick in the freezer. I am working on stocking it with meals for those busy days when fast food would have normally been on the menu.

Husband went to the grocery store!!!!!!!!

So, this week we are little short on money and trying to squeeze out everything we can from our freezer and pantry. Dh took our 2 year old daughter to the store with him today and bought too much. He spent almost $28 and didn't get much. He bought her Dora yogurt for $2.69 for a 6 pack!! Holy Moly!!! That's pricey, but at least it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it, which is a plus. He also got bananas, apples, a yogurt for him for work, 6 pounds of ground beef at $1.99 a pound, whole wheat tortillas and I think that's it.

I hate when he goes to the store. I can go shopping at Aldi's and do so good. I can go in there with $40 and get enough to feed us for more than a week. Right now we are shopping every week to two weeks, but our goal is to start shopping once a month and then just go once a week to get milk and fresh produce. Once a month shopping takes more planning and I need to work on that .
